SPS Northgate Elementary Artists at Work: Exploring Identity with Yeshodara Menon Fisher and Anupama Singh. Why were we given our names?

Sunday, June 2, 2013

Students examine the relationship of their names to their identity and make symbolic images that express something about themselves.

Project Background

An idea that came to life! Margaret Balderama, a family support worker at Northgate Elementary, wondered what would happen if youth made art about skin color and race. Her idea grew into an artistic collaboration with Mr. Stowell and his 4th/5th grade class. The art produced was submitted to the selection committee at the Wing Luke Museum for the exhibition Under My Skin. Our piece was accepted! Mikala Woodward,

Exhibits Developer | YouthCAN Manager,introduced Yeshodara Menon Fisher and Anupama Singh to us, who present their program at the Wing, Bridges Dialoguing Differences. Yesh and Anu deepened the students' understanding of themselves and their own art through a series of Bridges workshops with the students at Northgate Elementary. This is a record of our journey.
